The latest web version of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is now online, including a new Structure searching feature. You can now search the handbook by chemical structure with a download-able Java Applet for drawing your structure query. Search over 10,000 compounds!

What else is new?

Now reflecting the content of the 90th print edition, the new web version adds tables covering 11 new topics:

Structures and functions of common drugsChemical constituents of human bloodProton nmr shifts for solventsApparent Equilibrium Constants for Enzyme-Catalyzed ReactionsPhase Transitions in the Solid Elements at Atmospheric PressureThermoelectric Properties of Metals and SemiconductorsThermophysical Properties of Stainless Steel 310Description of the IUPAC chemical identifier (InChI)International recommendations on the expression of uncertainty of measurementsMajor world earthquakes, 850AD to 2008Nobel prize winners in Physics and Chemistry

And some of the most heavily used tables have been extensively revised and updated:

Nuclear moments for nmr spectroscopyMass spectral peaks for organic solventsProperties of refrigerantsInterstellar moleculesAqueous Solubility and Henry's Law Constants of Organic CompoundsProperties of the Solar SystemSatellites of the PlanetsThreshold Limits for Airborne ContaminantsSpeed of Sound in Dry Air
